Change question to give S temp values so that applicant has to determine that Tave is low and then ask if they are further or nearer to the insertion limits and what happens to SDM. The exam team (including the plant manager) reviewed the question and the decision was made to re-write with the question based more on the operator's knowledge of procedures for the event in progress, and a single concept, effect on SDM. We feel Distractors A&B are plausible since as stated in the distractor analysis, the first part of A&B is an IDA of 1-AP-3, (step 3 RNO), and would be correct if this were a failure of the Tref input (controlling first stage pressure channel) vice Tave input. 2 H 2 S MeetsKA 3 L 2 X ,s Is it realistic to have both the seismic and proximity vibration ,g monitors indicating the same value?

Why is this "H" LOD? Appears to be recall only. Question changed to "modified" upon review. The exam team considers the question appropriate for an RO since it addresses higher order features or functions of the plant, but since we do not have ROs or SROs memorize TS Bases, we rated this an "H" because the RO would have to demonstrate a knowledge of the system purpose and function based on operational Mode to arrive at the correct answer. This is a modified question.

a. Verify that the outline(s) fit(s) the appropriate model, in accordance with ES-401. b. Assess whether the outline was systematically and randomly prepared in accordance with Section 0.1 of ES-401 and whether all KIA categories are appropriately sampled. c. Assess whether the outline over-emphasizes any systems, evolutions,or generic topiCS. d. Assess whether the justifications for deselected or rejected KIA statements are appropriate.
a. Using Form ES-301-5, verify that the proposed scenario sets cover the required number of normal evolutions, instrument and component failures, technical speCifications, and major transients.
b. Assess whether there are enough scenario sets (and spares) to test the projected number and mix of applicants in accordance with the expected crew composition and rotation schedule without compromising exam integrity, and ensure that each applicant can be tested using at least one new or Significantly modified scenario, that no scenarios are duplicated from the applicants' audit test(s), and that scenarios will not be repeated on subsequent days. c. To the extent possible, assess whether the outline(s) conform(s) with the qualitative and quantitative criteria specified on Form ES-301-4 and described in Appendix D. a. Verify that the systems walk-through outline meets the criteria specified on Form ES-301-2:

(1) the outline(s) contain(s) the required number of control room and in-plant tasks distributed among the safety functions as specified on the form (2) task repetition from the last two NRC examinations is within the limits speCified on the form (3) no tasks are duplicated from the applicants' audit test(s) (4) the number of new or modified tasks meets or exceeds the minimums specified on the form (5) the number of altemate path, low-power, emergency, and RCA tasks meet the criteria on the form. b.

1. Enter the level of knowledge (LOK) of each question as either (F)undamental or (H)igher cognitive level. 2. Enter the level of difficulty (LOD) of each question using a 1 -5 (easy -difficult) rating scale (questions in the 2 -4 range are acceptable).
3. Check the appropriate box if a psychometric flaw identified:
  • The stem lacks sufficient focus to elicit the correct answer (e.g., unclear intent, more information is needed, or too much needless information).
  • The stem or distractors contain cues (i.e., clues, specific determiners, phrasing, length, etc).
  • The answer choices are a collection of unrelated true/false statements.
  • The distractors are not credible; single implausible distractors should be repaired, more than one is unacceptable.
  • One or more distractors is (are) partially correct (e.g., if the applicant can make unstated assumptions that are not contradicted by stem). 4. Check the appropriate box if a job content error is identified:
  • The question is not linked to the job requirements (i.e., the question has a valid KIA but, as written, is not operational in content).
  • The question requires the recall of knowledge that is too specific for the closed reference test mode (i.e., it is not required to be known from memory).
  • The question contains data with an unrealistic level of accuracy or inconsistent units (e.g., panel meter in percent with question in gallons).
  • The question requires reverse logic or application compared to the job requirements.
5. Check guestions that are sampled for conformance with the approved KIA and those that are designated SRO-only (KIA and license level mismatches are unacceptable).
6. Based on the reviewer's judgment, is the question as written (U)nsatisfactory (requiring repair or replacement), in need of (E)ditorial enhancement, or (S)atisfactory?
7. At a minimum, explain any "U" ratings (e.g., how the Appendix B psychometric attributes are not being met).

Change question to give S temp values so that applicant has to determine that Tave is low and then ask if they are further or nearer to the insertion limits and what happens to SDM. The exam team (including the plant manager) reviewed the question and the decision was made to re-write with the question based more on the operator's knowledge of procedures for the event in progress, and a single concept, effect on SDM. We feel Distractors A&B are plausible since as stated in the distractor analysis, the first part of A&B is an IDA of 1-AP-3, (step 3 RNO), and would be correct if this were a failure of the Tref input (controlling first stage pressure channel) vice Tave input. 2 H 2 S MeetsKA 3 L 2 X ,s Is it realistic to have both the seismic and proximity vibration ,g monitors indicating the same value? Should the proximity value S be raised? 1 st part of A is correct. If it is above the DANGER limit than it also above the ALERT limit. Change the Proximity reading to 15 mils, ARP states more than one indication should be used (What meets ELEVATED definition?) This question is testing trip criteria recall. Question revised with proximity value of 12 mils provided in stem. This provides a more realistic scenario for expected indications. Both indications are elevated (supports an actual high vibration condition) and since proximity of 12 is elevated, but below alert level of 15, avoids a case where "C" could be argued as a correct answer. 4 H 3 ,g This is not H LOK.

Why is this "H" LOD? Appears to be recall only. Question changed to "modified" upon review. The exam team considers the question appropriate for an RO since it addresses higher order features or functions of the plant, but since we do not have ROs or SROs memorize TS Bases, we rated this an "H" because the RO would have to demonstrate a knowledge of the system purpose and function based on operational Mode to arrive at the correct answer. This is a modified question. Reviewed original question. SAT 9 H 3 E Why is the adverse number given? Why not use 350#? It's S above the 225# value required.

You reference an SRO handout. At NAPS the RO could fill the role of communicator and thus it is an expectation that they have knowledge of reporting times. 12 L 2 X E Appears to be an incorrect statement in the stem. The CC S system serves no accident mitigation function therefore "SGTR is not applicable".

Suggest the license add another component in a different flow path as inop (TS allows separate condition entries) and change iA&B distractor to 8 hrs. lBased upon further review and in part on the licensees input that validation, 2 SROs chose distractor A or B, this question *s SAT as written. 87 H 3 S 1) Appears to meet the KA 88 H 3 X :y 1) Appears to meet the KA S A,B&D are also correct lAW AP-3l Could add additional info into the stem that must be diagnosed as to why the B Condensate pump could not be manually started.
